Pizza slap?

No, more about one very immature boy and his congenital inability to make a point without being insulting, and who is also so intellectually insecure that he can't even admit when he's blatantly screwed up...

ETA:

To be frank BSG, your credibility with the rolling eyes would be a lot stronger if you showed up at least once in a while to criticize the nasty little prick for his nasty little prick behavior, rather than always reserving your criticism for those giving the nasty little prick his comeuppance....

Just sayin'...

didja notice that guy was also calling the fellow a fag, and that the conservative folks here who commented were on the side of not putting up with that crap?

I was quite clear the first time. But for the slow learners, those made stupid by hatred, and wes who appears to know a lot less about elephants than he thinks:

Mature adult male elephants are needed to teach young male elephants how to behave.

Yrs,

Anyone incapable of 'getting it' after the second post is not worth the effort; which all of you have proven.

Maybe it is stupidity which fuels your hatred? Well, if that's the way it is, then you cannot be helped.

Be nice if you avoided crass generalizations - thanks very much.

Well rube, as you once bragged about, you are certainly predictable...

Just as I predicted:

Here's what he should say, but will not:

"My first statement was poorly worded, and the meaning was unclear. What I meant to say was that even in a mixed group of males and females, (such as the one in the clip) if the males in the group are all young, they will be more prone to bad behavior than if there are older males present."

I've said before that I thought "hatred makes you stupid" would be the ideal signature line for you, but frankly I'm not sure that's accurate...

In all likelihood, your lack of intelligence and ignorance of basic facts exists entirely independently of your hate-filled, bitter, toxic, and misanthropic nature...

I suspect that even if you weren't a hate-filled, bitter, toxic misanthrope, you'd still probably be ignorant and/or stupid enough to believe things like a seal barking is an unusual event, or that the Poles weren't victims of the Nazis...(to give just two examples)

The difference would be that if you were less hate-filled, at least you'd be less obnoxious about your ignorance and stupidity, and less inclined to broadcast it... (As of course you have done yet again in the post I quoted)

But to be honest, I really don't want you to stop doing what you do, because it's absolutely hilarious to watch...

This hysterically funny Clouseau-like disconnect between your perception of yourself as a clever, urbane, knowledgeable "man of science"; far brighter than we lesser types here...

And the reality of a staggeringly ignorant provincial stumble-bum who can't properly interpret a simple table and thinks seals barking is an unusual event...

Is what makes you "you" rube...

A rube who checked his facts, spoke with thoughtfulness and circumspection, and treated his fellow posters with respect and courtesy?

What fun would that be?

"Lord of the flies"?

In the midst of Canada , a group of British boys (and girls, but we won't mention them,) find themselves stranded without adult supervision in pizza hut queue. The group is roughly divided into the "littluns," boys around the age of six, and the "biguns," who are between the ages of ten and twelve. Initially, the boys attempt to form a culture similar to the one they left behind. They elect a leader, Ralph, who, with the advice and support of Piggy (the intellectual of the group), strives to establish rules for housing and sanitation, and filming it on his phoned for "teh interwebz". Ralph also makes a signal fire the group's first priority, hoping that a passing taxi will see the smoke signal and rescue them, and bring beers too. A major challenge to Ralph's leadership is Jack, who also wants to lead. Jack commands a group of choirboys-turned-hunters who sacrifice the duty of tending the queue so that they can participate in the slap. Jack draws the other boys slowly away from Ralph's influence because of their natural attraction to and inclination toward the adventurous hunting activities symbolizing violence and evil and peperoni.

The conflict between Jack and Ralph — and the forces of savagery and civilization that they represent — is exacerbated by the boys' literal fear of a mythical beast roaming the island, the pizza slapper. In a reaction to this panic, Jack forms a splinter group that is eventually joined by all but a few of the boys. The boys who join Jack are enticed by the protection Jack's ferocity seems to provide, as well as by the prospect of playing the role of savages: putting on camouflaging face paint, hunting, and performing ritualistic tribal dances. Eventually, Jack's group actually slaughters a sow and, as an offering to the beast, puts the sow's head on a pizza, without onions.

Recovering later that evening, he struggles to the counter top and finds that the beast is only a taxi driver. Attempting to bring the news to the other boys, he stumbles into the tribal frenzy of their red bull driven dance. Perceiving him as the beast, the boys beat him to death with a slice of pizza.

Yes. In the absence of adult authority, the boys descend into cruel savagery. Even the wildest are immediately cowed into shamed submission upon the appearance of the naval officer and his men.

Your little parody is amusing but rubato's analogy was apt and it is quite futile to mock it.

yes, I m sure they learn nothing from their mothers in all those years with the herd, before they join the bull groups where they learn that the powerful and smart get to reproduce

You missed the point, wes. Lord of the Flies - a book by Wm. Goldman - was the subject of the current pissing contest. Not elephants. As I recall, Jack, Piggy and Ralph et al (yes, him too) did not have any pachydermic interactions. I guess we should be thankful for that

wesw · Post by **wesw** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 11:06 pm

yes, but as I said earlier, lord of the flies is fiction. it seems silly for a scientist to fall back on it to back up his point on sociology. as was his comparing young men to elephants really. apes would have been more apt.

rube isn t piggy either. it s been awhile, but I ve read it .

darn, its been a long while....
